. . . Awwww. Cute cap!

Interesting fact: if you look at the word "hoya" and go "huh?" you'd be right. The word means "what," according to the infallible Wikipedia.
Leave your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts below. I'll be at work, slaving away, while y'all are watching basketball. Nice.
Go Vols! Hulk smash cutesy-wutesy wittle puppy with meanie-weanie collar!

I was kind of hoping for Jackson to say
That dog is ugly.

Georgetown
is ranked 16th in the Nation.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 12:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
well, they are 16th according to ESPN ...
but in their preview of the game they list the Hoyas at 21st.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 12:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We need an uptempo game today
Georgetown will grind it out on defense. This is a serious style clash.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:03 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
The most they've given up
is 62 points
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
ungh. 5-0, hopson got his shot blocked
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:04 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
and another palming, pretty obvious
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:06 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Two turnovers for G'Town early
Offensive foul and a palm.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:06 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Chism
2-2 at the line .. then bad press. 8-7 Gtown
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Ouch, breakaway.
But that’s going to happen from time to time.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Tennessee
doesn’t look like they are settled shooting the ball.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:08 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
It's early yet
I’m not too discouraged about it.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
Hopefully they can settle in … silly foul by Chism
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
12-6 Georgetown
Hoyas have the ball. Let’s go Vols!
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Apparently it's 14-6
Not sure I think that’s a three-point play, but whatever.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Check that, 14-6
GTown at the line . . .
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
And another turnover by Georgetown
on the inbound
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:15 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Georgetown
Saying they don’t appreciate the gift, another TO ..
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:17 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Tennessee
Saying “No you!”
transistion basket + foul for Gtown after Smith’s turnover
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:17 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Georgetown with another TO
I feel like I’m watching ACC football all of a sudden.
Hey, there’s the next UT turnover.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:17 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
and then deflected by Chism for a To
And then another on UT .. ungh!
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Good hands on D from him, too.
Although what kind of defense are we playing? It looks like lazy man-to-man.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Okay ..
Turnovers off Turnovers shouldn’t ever be higher than Points off Turnovers….
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:20 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Georgetown 1-2 from the Line, UT ball
18-16 GTown, UT has not led.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
And Gtown gets a 3
CHISM WITH THE ANSWER
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Uh-oh, Chism 3.
Very good. Now never do that again, please.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
yeah
cuz we’ve never heard THAT before ;)
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Chism is playing great ...
that should NOT have been an offensive foul
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
NICE delivery by Smith
SLAM by hopson
21 all
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
One of our interior defenders keeps on getting caught napping
And I think it’s Chism, but I’m not sure.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Tennessee's first lead
nice touch by Smith
23-21 UT
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Have we scored off of a turnover yet?
I’ve only seen one shot attempt.
by rblakeh on Nov 28, 2008 1:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
14-2 Run for the Vols!
Negedu with the slam,
30-23 Vols!
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Our half-court defense
is GREAT right now
our transistion D .. is not.
We NEED to stop turning the ball over!!
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Actually, transition defense is great
Transition offense is the pits.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
GTown a 3
then a foul, Williams for 1-1 ..
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:39 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Haha
4 GTown players went for the ball .. knocked it out of bounds.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:42 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I think ...
Chism is 4-4 from the line
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:47 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
SLOW IT DOWN
Tennessee is turning it over on turnovers WAY too much
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
But G'Town is committing some dumb fouls.
This’ll help in the second half.
by Graysnail on Nov 28, 2008 1:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Silly late foul
But UT leads at the half,
38-36
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 1:53 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Foul situation seems to favor Tennessee in the second half.
7 for UT, 10 for Georgie.
Also, Georgie has 9/10 fouls committed by starters (3 by Summers), while UT only has 3/7 by starters (though 2 by Chism and 2 by Williams).
So long as UT’s interior presence doesn’t get into too much trouble early, that should pay dividends in the long run.
by Hooper on Nov 28, 2008 1:59 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
nice to hear from you, Hoops
I agree, I’m looking for Georgetown to get worn out in the Second half, they are not as deep as us.
Also, I’ve liked our inside game so far, only two of Chism’s/William’s fouls have come inside (Williams had one on the outside and Chism had that OF)
Tennessee needs to stop turning the ball over, that’s what’s keeping GTown in this game.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 2:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm in and out for the half
but the comments really help fill in the story, so thank you.

BBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM

If this was NBA Jam
The ball would be in flames whenever he had it.

Chism Fouled Out
But he played an excellent game, I think.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 3:08 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
The refs really bailed out that Georgetown guy
One of these refs is a Hoya Lover
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 3:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Tatum PotG
4-5 from beyond I think.
by bobo_the_vol on Nov 28, 2008 3:16 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Lookin good
The boys looked good today. I caught the game, but sadly missed ya’ll on here. It’s certainly a different team this year, but they’ve still got some big HUGE shoes to fill before I’ll say that they’re better.
Go Vols!

Big Win for the Vol Basketball Program
Soundly beating a perennial power like Georgetown warrants major respect.
